Instead of changing out my till as had been practice under my old boss my new boss pulled the just the big bills and a bunch of twenties between customers. He had me do no sale-cash and open the drawer for him.
I know I have the right to count my till between customers but we were slammed.
Later one of the front end supervisors asked me if I had a new till yet and I said what was done. I got an incredulous look.
Later I overheard the front end accounting people were talking about needing to change the till after my shift. I did the no sale cash receipt after my shift and the amount was lower but I had no way to verify what he took with what it reflected.
I'm nervous about this new guy. Should I ask anyone else about what was done and why?
at my store, we don't count the tills or any of that stuff. Periodically througout the day, the one running the front end wil come over and take all the 50s and 100s, and all but 5 20s, all the coupons (put in a box with all the other coupons) and the checks. They'll put all but the coupons in a bag and label it with the time, register number and seal it. Then they put it in a slot in the wall, that I think goes into the safe or some sort of secure storage area. The next morning, they count all of it up. Then they start new tills (have 2 for each register) and exchange the ones that were used the day before. Then they count those.
What you described sounds weird altogether for me.
Yeah he didn't take the checks or coupons. We used to leave the coupons until the tills were changed or, if you were the last cashier, you'd gather it all up and store it for accounting to get the next morning.
Sounds like you guys have a new boss who is operating under the "new" rules of Lean Accounting. At our store, things are done pretty much just like he did. When a till calls for a pickup, the front end supervisor takes bags to all the pans in use that day and takes all the big bills and all but $200 in 20's and then goes to the accounting room and picks them up on the computer. We used to do things the way with the clear, sealed bag deposited in the wall, but the company is moving to the more streamlined Lean Accounting procedures.
All stores are sussposed to do it the same way. If you are not then you are not following Key Retailing.
No, not necessarily. Lean accounting and key retailing are not locked together. These are things implemented at kroger stores but kroger is just 1 of about 30 companies that make up the enterprise. From what I know, key retailing has spread farther than lean accounting because key retailing includes all departments.
yeah, at my store we take bottle slips, big bills and all but five 20s. put the money in a plastic bag with the register number on it. we dont have our own tills for each cashier.
